Stage 3-4Mid Game

Stage 4-5Late Game
Complete this Blossom/Adaptor/Primal composition with Sett, Nidalee, Gnar in the late game. These high-cost units are essential for the comp's 82.5% win rate. Level to 8-9 and prioritize 2-starring your carries.
ItemsBest in Slot Items for This Kog'Maw Comp

Secondary item holders include Krug (Thief's Gloves); Master Yi (Brawler Emblem, Edge of Night, Guinsoo's Rageblade); Sett (Thief's Gloves); Gnar (Thief's Gloves); Kog'Maw (Infinity Edge, Red Buff, Spear of Shojin); Nidalee (Guinsoo's Rageblade, Spear of Shojin, Void Staff); Yorick (Protector's Vow, Spirit Visage, Warmogs Armor).

PriorityTop Components to Look for on Carousel
Sparring Gloves×7 items
Giant's Belt×6 items
Recurve Bow×5 items
Tear Of The Goddess×5 items
When playing this Kog'Maw Blossom/Adaptor/Primal comp, prioritize Sparring Gloves, Giant's Belt, Recurve Bow, Tear Of The Goddess during carousel rounds and PvE stages. Sparring Gloves is the most valuable component, appearing in 7 of the core items for this composition.

If contested, look for completed items or flexible components that can pivot into multiple BiS options.
Pivot Suggestions
When playing Kog'Maw in TFT Set 18, the Blossom/Adaptor/Primal composition with a 82.5% win rate is often the strongest choice. However, in competitive lobbies, other players may contest key units, making it difficult to 2-star your carries. Knowing when and how to pivot to alternative Kog'Maw team comps is essential for maintaining a top 4 placement. Below are the best pivot compositions that share core units with the optimal Kog'Maw build, allowing for a smooth transition without sacrificing too much board strength.
Pivot Option 1: Blossom/Brawler/Adaptor
74.0% WR88% overlap
Keep these units
Sell these units
Add these units
This Blossom/Brawler/Adaptor composition shares 88% of its units with the best Kog'Maw comp, achieving a 74.0% win rate. You'll need to sell Gnar from your board and replace them with Gromp. This pivot can be executed smoothly at any stage since you retain most of your board. This flexibility makes it an excellent backup plan when Kog'Maw's primary composition is heavily contested in your lobby.
When to Pivot Your Kog'Maw TFT Comp
Recognizing when to pivot is just as important as knowing what to pivot to. Scout your lobby early and often - if you see 2 or more players building the same Kog'Maw composition, consider transitioning to one of these alternative builds. The best time to pivot is typically during Stage 3-4, before you've fully committed your gold and items to the contested build. Remember that a completed pivot comp with 2-star units will almost always outperform a contested comp stuck at 1-star. Use these Kog'Maw pivot strategies to adapt to your lobby and secure consistent top 4 finishes in TFT Set 18.
